A Symphonic Sunday, Someday
Le Matin
Adagio – Allegro
On that day, I will wake up beside you and follow the nascent sunlight’s path as it kisses the highlights of your face as a master’s brush adding the final touches on a portrait – and then suddenly, completeness! The image is immortalized.
Adagio – Andante – Adagio
Gently, I will lay still and gaze with admiring eyes at the masterpiece set before me, hoping that nothing interrupts the secret bliss of the moment, not even your awakening.For I have yet to creep silently out of bed and prepare your espresso and breakfast, and move carefully back under the covers to wake you up myself when that is all done. The tasks will not be accomplished immediately however.I shall extend my gazing for as long as I can.
Menuet
When at last I remove my eyes from you, I will be in a daze. I shall then waltz to the kitchen, run my fingers through my hair, ignore a self-check on the looking glass, and be convinced that nothing is more prettifying than the contented and enchanted smile I’m wearing.I will hum a Bach melody slightly out of tune while the espresso maker hisses happily and the fire on the kitchen stove dances merrily.
Allegro
Then shall you wake up to the winsome aroma of coffee and griddlecakes, and the pleasant rhythm and sounds from the kitchen, but you do not open your eyes and you pretend to be asleep because you wait for me to come to you.But I recognize you when you are truly asleep, and yet I do not say it, otherwise you will know of my secret bliss, and I will crawl back under the blanket and whisper your name, plant a kiss where the sunlight did, and watch the masterpiece smile back at me, and you will open your eyes to a beautiful day.
What a beautiful day, when I wake up to you.
